Angela Picerno Obituary

Angela Marie "Angel" Picerno went home to Heaven on Saturday, May 11, 2013, after a hard - fought and extended battle with breast cancer. She was born on October 8, 1944, in the Bronx, NY. Married on January 25, 1964 to Richard "Rick" Picerno in Hollywood, FL, she was wholly devoted to her husband and her family. Angel is survived by her husband, Rick, of Jacksonville, FL; three of their four children: Dawn Caro of Jacksonville, Rick Picerno and wife, Andrea, of Jacksonville, and Lisa Conn and husband, Eddie, of Valdosta, GA. Their daughter, Renee, preceded her in death in 1964. Angel has seven grandchildren whom she loved dearly, as they did her: Ian and Nicholas Caro of Jacksonville; Rebekah, Ricky and Luke Picerno of Jacksonville; and Courtney and Casey Conn of Valdosta, GA. She is also survived by her six siblings: Amelia, Billy, Vince, Nate, Donna, and Henry. A service will be held to celebrate her life in the Hobson Auditorium at First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, 124 W. Ashley Street on Saturday, May 18, 2013. Visitation will be at 10 am and funeral service at 11 am. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Angel's memory to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of North Florida, the American Cancer Society, or NE Florida Community Hospice. No words can adequately express the profound impact she made on so many lives throughout her time here on earth. "I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live." (John 11:25) Please visit our online Tribute at www.quinn-shalz.com. Services under the care and direction of Quinn-Shalz, A Family Funeral Home, Jacksonville Beach, FL.

It´s been 10 years and I miss her just the same. I´m jealous she´s with Jesus but in a good way. I long to be there, when it´s my time. I still hear her voice and remember her smile. You all were fortunate to have such a sweet mother and wife for Rick.

She was a great lady who served her Lord and her family with joy. She taught me how to deal with my own illness in spite of what others thought. She was courageous.

I work for Dr. Picerno as his Secretary and every time I met Angel, she was with her wonderful husband. They were always together. Her name fit her personality and glow. I did not know as well as I would have like to but knowing her family, well that said it all. I choose to think of her passing as not a death but a birthday. So Happy Birthday Angel to celebrate with Christ.
C you in Heaven. Say hi to my loved ones for me.

Dear Rick, Dawn, Ricky and Lisa,
What a great wife and mother you all had. She was an incredible woman and "mother" to many. I miss her so very much and there's a hole in my heart. A void that can't be filled. I can only imagine your loss. She's happy and whole and better than ever before. With that thought we have peace. Love you all.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said "You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give." Angel was so courageous and I will always remember her strength and the support her loved ones provided as she struggled to retain her place in all their lives. God may have taken her now, but her relationships and memories will live on forever in minds and hearts. My sincere condolences to Rick, her children and their spouses, and all the grandchildren. Angel and I were cousins and I always admired her beauty and sweetness, and how much everyone loved her. RIP Angel. You were indeed "Special".

Mr. Picerno, Rick, and Dawn,

I always enjoyed seeing Mrs. Picerno at the baseball fields supporting her grandchildren. The legacy she leaves is quite apparent as represented by her family. Nicholas, Rebekah and Ricky are among the finest children I have ever been privileged to coach. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you celebrate a life well lived.
